The inertial reference system (IR) provides attitude, heading, position, angular rate and linear acceleration information. <0025>

7 Electronic Flight Instrument ystem Vol ELECTRONIC FLIGHT INTRUMENT YTEM All basic flight information is presented to the flight crew on Electronic Flight Instrument ystem (EFI) displays. Each pilot instrument panel contains a primary flight display (PFD) and a multifunctional display (MFD). All four displays are electronically identical to permit transfer of display data. Each PFD is a digital CRT and has the primary function of pictorially showing aircraft attitude, altitude, airspeed, flight director commands and flight mode annunciations. Inputs to the PFD s are from the selected AHR and ADC s. Commands are set on the flight control panel, air data reference panel and display control panels. Each PFD is a digital CRT and has the primary function of pictorially showing aircraft attitude, altitude, airspeed, flight director commands and flight mode annunciations. Inputs to the PFD s are from the selected IR and ADC s. Commands are set on the flight control panel, air data reference panel and display control panels.<0025> The PFD s function as the following instruments: Attitude heading indicator (ADI) Horizontal situation indicator (HI) Radio magnetic indicator (RMI) Radio altimeter indicator Airspeed indicator (Mach and IA) Vertical speed indicator (VI). Each of the MFDs acts as a navigation system display and has a primary function of showing current heading (compass) and course information. The MFDs can also display moving map navigation pictorials, navigation sensor data, weather radar targets, and TCA traffic (see Chapter 18). Cross side compass information and backup navigation information can be superimposed on either display. EICA information can also be displayed on either MFD. A. Display Reversion Two display reversionary panels are installed in the flight compartment. One panel is installed on the pilot s side panel and the other panel is installed on the copilot s side panel. In the event of a PFD failure, all data normally displayed on it can be transferred to the adjacent MFD by turning the display selector knob on the respective reversionary panel to the PFD position. The MFD information cannot be transferred to the PFD. electing the EICA position will initially display the EICA status page on the respective MFD. All the other EICA pages are available for display on the MFD, through selections on the EICA control panel.

19 Air Data ystem Vol AIR DATA YTEM Two air data computers (ADC 1 and ADC 2) provide the primary flight displays (PFD) with air data consisting of airspeed, altitude and vertical speed. The ADCs also provide computed air data (speed, altitude and temperature data) to various aircraft avionics systems. The ADCs convert pitot and static air pressure to electrical signals. The ADCs use static pressure to produce the altitude data and combine static and pitot pressure to produce the airspeed data. Resistance changes from a total air temperature (TAT) probe provide the ADCs with temperature data. The system is controlled by the air data reference panels and has warning and alert capabilities integrated with the EICA. elected speeds and altitude are set using the flight control panel (refer to Chapter 3). A. Pitot tatic ystem The pitot static system supplies pitot and static air pressures to the ADCs, the standby altitude/attitude/airspeed indicator and the cabin pressure control panel (CPCP). The system consists of two pitot/static probes, an alternate pitot probe, alternate static ports and a total air temperature probe (TAT). The pitot static system supplies pitot and static air pressures to the ADCs, the integrated standby instrument (II) and the cabin pressure control panel (CPCP). The system consists of two pitot/static probes, an alternate pitot probe, alternate static ports and a total air temperature probe (TAT).<0083> The pilots and copilots pitot static probes each consist of a pitot mast (P1 and P2) and two static ports (1 and 2). Pitot pressure from each probe is supplied to the same side ADC. tatic pressure from each probe is supplied to each ADC. The alternate pitot probe (P3) supplies pressure inputs to the standby altitude/attitude/airspeed indicator. The alternate pitot probe (P3) supplies pressure inputs to the integrated standby instrument (II).<0083> Electric heating elements protect the pitot-static and TAT probes from icing (refer to Chapter 15, Ice and Rain Protection). NOTE TAT probe readings are inaccurate when the aircraft is on the ground, due to probe heating to protect it from icing. TAT probe readings cannot be used to obtain the ambient static temperature before take-off. Two Mach transducers supply primary Mach compensation data to the stall protection computer. The transducers are connected to the left and right pitot static system and provide a means of isolating a leaky transducer from the rest of the pitot static system. via the static source selectors. The selectors are controlled by mechanical selectors on the pilot s and copilot s side consoles.

21 Air Data ystem Vol B. Air Data The air data system provides computed air data (speed, altitude and temperature) information to the following systems: Integrated avionics preocessor system (IAP) Attitude and heading reference system (AHR) Inertial reference system (IR) <0025> tall protection computer and flap ECU Air traffic control transponders and TCA Flight control computers and flight director Electronic flight instrument system (EFI) and engine indication and crew alerting system (EICA) displays. The air data system provides the following air data parameters: Pressure altitude and barometric--corrected altitude Vertical speed, indicated airspeed, Mach number and true airspeed (TA) IA reference (automatically through the AP control or manually through the air data reference panel) tatic air temperature (AT) Calibrated and indicated airspeed (CA / IA) Overspeed warning (present airspeed and Vmo) Total air temperature (TAT) Temperature variations from international standard atmosphere (IA). In addition to the above parameters, the air data system computes and controls the following reference values and parameters: Preselect altitude Airspeed trend vector Maximum allowable speed (V MO ) Maximum allowable Mach (M MO ) Vertical speed references.

22 Air Data ystem Vol C. Air Data Reference Panels The air data reference panels (ARP) are located on the pilot s and copilot s side panels. Each ARP is used to enable selection of airspeed reference pointers and barometric correction for altitude. Each ARP functions with the same-side ADC, display control panel, primary flight display and multifunctional display. The ARP is divided into three sections: The speed references section is used to select and input changes to the various target and speed settings (V1, VR, V2 and VT). Both PFDs will display the same values. The altitude references section is used to set minimum descent altitude (MDA) and decision height (DH) values and to initiate radio altimeter self test. The barometric references section is used to select and input changes to the ADC barometric pressure, to select indicating units (hpa or inhg) and to set standard barometric pressure. Each PFD can have a different barometric pressure setting. The last value selected is retained in the ADC memory for the next power up.

29 Air Data ystem Vol D. Altitude Alerts The altitude alert system alerts the flight crew that a preselected altitude has been reached or a deviation from a preselected altitude has occurred. When the aircraft is cleared to change altitude, the preselected altitude is set on the PFD through the flight control panel (FCP). There are three types of alerts that can occur: Acquisition mode Cross side tracking Deviation mode. Pending Rectification NOTE An anomaly has been discovered in the ADC software which causes the aural altitude alerter (C--Chord) not to cancel if an AFC transfer is made while the aural alert relay is energized. If the altitude alerter does not cancel automatically after 1 second because the AFC transfer was operated while the aural alert relay was energized, briefly switch the AFC transfer back to the previous setting. Once the aural altitude alerter cancels the AFC transfer may be reselected as required.

31 Air Data ystem Vol E. Acquisition Mode Altitude alerts are inhibited in approach mode, when glideslope is captured and there are valid autopilot steering commands. The ADC will set a one second acquisition alert warning (altitude C-cord warning aural) and flash the preselected altitude readout when the present altitude is within ±1,000 feet of capturing the preselected altitude. The readout will stop flashing when the altitude is within ±200 feet of the preselected altitude. The alert can be cancelled by pressing the altitude knob on the flight control panel. F. Cross ide Tracking Each ADC compares the preselect altitude value from both computers for equality. If the values are not equal, the preselect altitude digits on the display change from magenta to cyan. G. Deviation Mode After the preselected altitude is captured, if the altitude deviates from the preselected altitude by more than ±200 feet, a deviation alert warning (aural C chord) will be set and the preselected altitude readout and bug will change from magenta to amber and begin to flash. The readout and bug will return to normal once the altitude is back within deviation limits. A deviation alert will also be made if the airplane has gone within the acquisition limits on an altitude capture but then deviates by more than 100 feet from the preselected altitude. H. Air Data Reversion Normally, each ADC provides data to the same side PFD. If one ADC should fail, the other computer may be used to supply data to both PFDs. This is done by selecting the AIR DATA knob, to the 1 or 2 position, on the ource elector Panel.

37 Radio Altimeter ystem Vol RADIO ALTIMETER YTEM The radio altimeter (RADALT) system provides an accurate measurement of absolute altitude (height above terrain) from 0 to 2500 feet AGL. Radio altitude information is supplied to the following: There are two radio altimeter (RADALT) systems installed on the aircraft. Each system provides an accurate measurement of absolute altitude (height above terrain) from 0 to 2500 feet AGL. Radio altitude information is supplied from both radio altimeters to the following: <0045> PFD s Flight control systems Ground proximity warning system (GPW) Enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPW) <0040> Traffic alert and collision avoidance (TCA). The radio altimeter provides the pilot s and copilot s PFDs with the following: Radio altitude readout Decision height readout Decision height alerts and radio altimeter fail flags. When a failure is detected during flight, a red warning flag is displayed on the PFD s. The radio altitude display is displayed as both a digital and a moving tape readout. The digital readout appears as the aircraft descends through 2,500 feet. The tape is an analog scale that is displayed when the airplane is below an altitude of 1,225 feet. Decision height is set (from 0 to 999 feet) using either pilot s air data reference panel. A test button is provided on the air data reference panel to verify the operation of the radio altimeter system.

The AHR is a dual system with two independent attitude and heading computers. Each computer receives corrected heading information from an individual flux detector which sense the earth s magnetic field. Each computer also receives information from the same side air data system. This information, together with accelerometer sensor data, is processed and sent to the integrated avionics processor system which interfaces with the flight control computers and flight management computers. These signals are also routed to the TCA, GPW, weather radar, fuel system, stall protection system, flight data recorder and data concentrator units. These signals are also routed to the TCA, EGPW, weather radar, fuel system, stall protection system, flight data recorder and data concentrator units. <0040> AHR provides attitude and heading information to the electronic flight instruments. The PFD s display AHR alignment flags during initialization (30 to 70 seconds). If aircraft primary power is lost, the AHR will continue to operate on battery bus power for 11 minutes. Attitude is displayed on the attitude direction indicator (ADI) of the primary flight displays and heading is displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HI) portions of the displays. AHR mode selections are made using the pilot or copilot compass control panel. The AHR normally operates in magnetic (MAG) mode. Directional gyro (DG) mode is intended to operate as a heading reference, only for a short period of time, near areas where magnetic disruptions exist and does not use data from the flux detector. A slew switch is provided to change heading direction. The switch is operational in both MAG and DG modes. In DG mode it is used periodically to correct for drift. In MAG mode, it also causes the heading to slew in the selected direction. When the switch is released in MAG mode, the heading will slowly slave back to the heading defined by the flux detector. 2. INERTIAL REFERENCE YTEM <0025> The inertial reference system (IR) provides inertial outputs of attitude, heading, angular rates, linear acceleration and present position to be displayed on the flight displays and to be used by other avionics systems. The IR is a dual system with two inertial reference units (IRU) and a dual mode select unit (MU). Each IRU receives information from the same side air data system. The IRU measures inertial motion sensed by the inertial instruments and computes attitude and heading data. This information is processed and sent to the integrated avionics processor system which interfaces with the flight control computers and flight management computers. These signals are also routed to the TCA, EGPW, weather radar, fuel system, stall protection system, flight data recorder and data concentrator units. The MU provides pilot selection of the IR modes.

44 Attitude and Heading Reference ystem Vol The IR provides attitude and heading information to the electronic flight instruments. Attitude is displayed on the attitude direction indicator (ADI) of the primary flight displays and heading is displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HI) portions of the displays. Heading is selected to magnetic or true using the flight management system (refer to Chapter 18). The IR normally operates in navigation mode. In navigation mode, it is not possible to update the IR position, however, it is possible to perform a rapid realignment while on the ground. Attitude mode is a reversionary mode, used when the IRU has detected an inertial failure or inaccuracies of the navigation operation in flight. Attitude mode does not provide position data. In attitude mode, the heading may drift and must be corrected using the flight management system (FM). If the FM is not available, the EICA control panel can be used to make heading corrections. Attitude mode is annunciated on the EICA status page.

53 Attitude and Heading Reference ystem Vol B. Initialization and Alignment AHR initialization and operation occurs automatically when electrical power is established and the aircraft is stationary. Initialization in MAG mode takes about 70 seconds. DG mode requires a much longer time to initialize. In flight, initialization requires straight, unaccelerated level flight. The primary flight displays (PFD s) present a flashing initialization alignment message during initialization. IR initialization takes about 7 minutes at normal temperature. The IR requires that the initial position be entered using the flight management system (FM). The primary flight displays (PFD s) present a flashing initialization alignment message during initialization. Upon successful alignment, the IR will automatically sequence into navigation mode. Attitude alignment takes 1 minute or 34 seconds when switching from navigation to attitude mode, provided the aircraft is stationary on the ground or in straight and level flight. <0025> The magnetic flux detectors used to originate heading information are sensitive to localized magnetic fields and magnetic anomalies. The effects and the procedural responses to these conditions are presented in the Collins AH-85 / 85E Attitude Heading ystem Pilot s Guide.
